Warming In Ohio In The Summer Years

Decent Essays
It is warmer in Ohio in the summer time because Ohio is located in a reigion of Earth subject to various seasons. Seasons are caused by the different angles of which sunlight contacts the Earth. The Earth is on a tilte axis. This means while the Earth is rotating the sun, the sunlight makes contact at different angles. With a more direct, and steeper angle, sunlight is more absorbed and retained by the ground. This is the type of exposure we experience in the summer months in Ohio. In the winter, Ohio is in a position which experiences shallow angles of exposure and the light gets more spread out. Along with the varying angles of light contacting the Earth; the sun spends less time during the day during the summer. The sun in the summer spends

    The seasons are created by the tilt, 23.5 degrees, of the Earth’s axis and the position of the Earth in terms of its revolution around the Sun. A hemisphere will experience summer when it is tilted towards the Sun, while the other hemisphere experiences winter. If a hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun, it is receiving more sunlight and therefore it must be summer. This works the other way around as well; if a hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun, it is receiving less sunlight and therefore it is winter. At the end of the day, the seasons exist because of the Earth’s tilted axis and its revolutions around the Sun.…

Overall, climate change is seen as a very controversial issue because some people believe that climate change is a legitimate issue and has been directly caused by humans, while others believe that the weather changes are just natural processes that should be expected to change from time to time and that climate change has absolutely nothing to do with the recent temperature changes that the world has been going through. However, climate change has been proven to be the leading cause of changing weather patterns all over the world, as well as the start of the El Niño effect, which is a series of climatic changes in the Pacific Ocean…

    In this paper I will discuss whether the Chicago Heat Wave as written about in Heat Wave: A Social Autopsy of Disaster in Chicago by Eric Klinenberg, is best defined as a social or natural disaster. Klinenberg talks about each as a possible explanation for the Chicago Heat Wave. Like Klinenberg I believe that the Chicago Heat Wave was a natural disaster, there were record temperatures and the city could do little in defense when faced with situations like this. However, this explanation does not account for why so many people died or why some areas or sorts of people had higher rates than others, for this reason I believe the Heat Wave is better defined as a social disaster.…

    Other variations like the tilt and precession of Earth also affects the natural warming and cooling process of the climate. The Earth’s angle determines the intensity of the season changes. For example, if the planet has an increasing axial tilt, the contrast increases so the summer would be warmer and winter will be colder. Precession is the wobbling of the Earth on its axis back and forth. It determines how long or short the seasons would be.…
